This is the Ambassador Bridge tonight. A ghost highway. The bridge connects Detroit, Michigan, USA to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It is the busiest overland trade corridor in North America. And tonight it is closed. Three hundred million dollars (US) in goods pass over the span every day. That is about 40% of the volume of the Port of Los Angeles, for perspective.
The #truckers have figured out the math. Forget Ottawa. Never mind DC. The strangle point is here. No matter how you feel about them Mr. Trudeau, or the righteousness of your position. If were you, I would emerge from my beaver lodge and negotiate before this becomes and international financial calamity.
